psa forgot how to grade vintage after the collector's acquisition. current psa executes aren't a fan of vintage either (maybe because of the payouts).

sgc graded it a 2.5. then it was crossed over to psa in late 2022.

this cj 14 jackson is not even close to being a 1.5 / fair card. psa standards (which their graders ignore themselves in my experience) allow 4s and 3s to have creases while factoring in other condition aspects.

jeremy has the card in-hand and can chime in. his card is handsome big boy card.

The perpetual subjectivity tied to all grading doesn't seem something to bet on faltering anytime soon.
